The incident was filmed by security cameras, while Andrei Votyakov doctor said that the patient was rude and that he was stressed after long working hours of 36 hours.
"I came into the room with my team, he began to insult me with different names and it soured me," said the doctor, as quoted Start.
The patient later died at the Federal Center for Cardiovascular Surgery in the Russian city of Perm, but his death was not about hitting the doctor.
